There is such a plethora of art exhibitions, information and events that are happening now in my area that I would like to see and be remiss in not mentioning them. I’ll try to list from when they begin and end, first to last with any links that apply:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u201cResurrection<\/a><\/p>\n

1) Beautiful flower paintings at Anne<\/a> Arundel Community College<\/a> through April 23. Hurry up, this one is ending soon!<\/p>\n

\"Rowland<\/a><\/p>\n

2)”Blue” at the Textile Museum<\/a> (April 4 – September 18). An interesting variety about my favorite color.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DC<\/a><\/p>\n

3) The D.C. Design House<\/a> (April 19 – May 11). Since there is no longer a NSO Design Showhouse, this is a way to get practical home decor solutions on a smaller scale. Tickets are $20. The old Georgetown Schoolhouse has been renovated for each interior designer’s rendition. I could be wrong, but I think this is the same location where I used to take graphic design at the Corcoran School of Art’s satellite building.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Old<\/a><\/p>\n

4) 28th Annual Old Town Arts & Crafts Festival at Market Square, Alexandria, VA, May 10 – 11. Sponsored by the Alexandria Volunteer Bureau<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cBlack<\/a><\/p>\n

5) “Black Dinghy” and other paintings by Carol Bolsey at the Cross MacKenzie Ceramic Arts<\/a> through May 14.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

6) The Screwtape Letters<\/em><\/a> by C.S. Lewis at the Lansburgh Theatre through the Shakespeare Theatre Company<\/a> (April 18 – May 18). The Washington Post claims it’s “wickedly” good and the characters exemplify this decked out in their devilish costumes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\u201cLooking<\/a><\/p>\n

7) Paula Rego’s Paintings at the National Museum of Women in the Arts<\/a>, through May 25.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cTrash<\/p>\n

8) National Geographic’s “Trash People<\/a>” by HA Shult, on view April 8 through June 8. Don’t throw away those soda cans anymore. You can make sculptures.<\/p>\n

\"Library<\/a><\/p>\n

9) The Library of Congress Experience<\/a> (Grand Opening April 12 and ongoing), with interactive technologies. It’s hard to see here but these Presidential portraits are achieved with finger and thumb prints. In a rough way this reminds me of Chuck Close<\/a>, one of my favorite contemporary artists. You’ll see them plastered around poles in the Metro stations — clever way to advertise.<\/p>\n

\"Crystal<\/a><\/p>\n

10) The “Crystal Flight” Sculptures<\/a> are on display around Crystal City. There are 50 planes with different themes, much like other cities have done with elephants and donkeys (DC) and fish (New Orleans). This could be a fun treasure hunt\/find Waldo activity with or without kids. My husband and I saw these by chance two weekends ago and they are pretty novel and amusing. I’m enthusiastic that Byron Peck<\/a> and other artists are involved. He may be most famously known for his Duke Ellington Mural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
